ACTIVITY 1
If you were to choose between Larsson’s and Khor’s definitions of Globalization.
Which do you favor and why?
I will use Thomas Larson's definition of "globalization" because it is the process by which
people all over the world become closer and can interact with one another for mutual benefit.
Distances are getting shorter because of technology; things are getting closer because of fast
transactions, and they will continue to shrink. Globalization is shrinking our world.
Everything is becoming easier.
ACTIVITY 2
Create your own definition of Globalization.
Globalization is a global transaction that is expanding by the day. It is made easier using
technology. Globalization is not constant; it varies depending on the situation. It is a system
for development.
ACTIVITY 3
If you were to choose as a nation between Broad/Inclusive or
Narrow/Exclusive which do you prefer? Why?
If I had the opportunity to choose a nation, I would choose broad and inclusive because it
provides equal and secure opportunities for everyone while also providing growth and
development for our countries' nations. Despite its disadvantage, we can see how our country
is interconnected.
ACTIVITY 4
What metaphors are you going to use to improve your own definition of globalization?
Globalization is a constantly changing situation; it alters the flow or movement daily. To
improve globalization, I am using the clock as a metaphor. why? Every second matters.
Every second, minute, and hour, we can change the present and whatever happens in the
future. We can avoid or improve it because of the clock.
ACTIVITY 5
Create the content on media about globalization video and upload it.
We uploaded a video about how our generation has changed rapidly as time has passed, and it
has reach 1.2k views.
